The measurement of density of radioactive materials in the air inside the Reactor 2 Containment Vessel was delayed because there was water in the temporary sampling instrument that TEPCO installed outside the CV. It looks like they decided to measure the water anyway, as well as the air.

According to the measurement, the air is more radioactive than the water inside the Containment Vessel, but less radioactive than the air inside the Reactor 1 CV.

So the melted fuel is probably not even inside the Containment Vessel in Reactor 2 either.

But what's with krypton and xenon? I also read a tweet by one of the workers at the plant who said there is still radioactive iodine being released, even though TEPCO's monitoring says iodine-131 is not detected at the plant any more.

"The measurement of density of radioactive materials in the air inside the Reactor 2 Containment Vessel ..According to the measurement, the air is more radioactive than the water inside the Containment Vessel, .. So the melted fuel is probably not even inside the Containment Vessel in Reactor 2 either."

If the air is more radioactive than the water, it may mean the fuel is not submerged.

A god atricle about water treatment and removing of Radioactiv isotops.http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2011/04/07/how-to-remove-radioactive-iodine-131-from-drinking-water/and also, read the coments.

it is not "culturaly insensitive", it is gouvernment insane policy insensitive. Very different. They are creating language terms that makes their policies of murderer look good. In reality, people in Fukushima wish all their products would be bought by gouvernment to be dispose of safely. No one in Fukhshima wishes to harm anyone in Japan. But the gouvernment does. So it would be for the gouvernment that Kyoto would buy the wood, not for Fukushima. Refusing the wood is trempling on the gouvernment mass genocide policy, but is not affecting people in Fukushima. The gouvrment is lying loud and clear.

Of course, there are subterranean nuclear explosions going on. My estimate is that the coriums are all at least 10K below the surface of FDI. Even without the occassional inefficient nuclear (not steam) explosions occurring, the release of radionuclides is perpetual, as the coriums from R1-R3 are never ending for the next 250,000 years unless the material somehow ramifies or is spread flat underground. The Chernobyl like emissions of Fukushima have been daily and perpetual for more than 400 days.

About my coverage of Japan Earthquake of March 11

I am Japanese, and I not only read Japanese news sources for information on earthquake and the Fukushima Nuke Plant but also watch press conferences via the Internet when I can and summarize my findings, adding my observations.

About This Site

Well, this was, until March 11, 2011. Now it is taken over by the events in Japan, first earthquake and tsunami but quickly by the nuke reactor accident. It continues to be a one-person (me) blog, and I haven't even managed to update the sidebars after 5 months... Thanks for coming, spread the word.------------------This is an aggregator site of blogs coming out of SKF (double-short financials ETF) message board at Yahoo.
